Flowers drop from the fruit
As soon as the flowers drop from the fruit bud the capsules grow very rapidly until they have attained full
size-which occurs only in those plants which have been left for seed and remain untopped. When topped they are not usually full grown-as some growers top the plants when just coming into blossom, while others prefer to top the plants when in full bloom and others still when the blossoms begin to fall.
The fruit is described by Wheeler “as a capsule of a nearly oval figure. There is a line on each side of it, and it contains two cells, and opens at the top. The receptacles one of a half-oval figure, punctuated and affixed to the separating body. The seeds are numerous, kidney-shaped, and rugose.”
